When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and March 29-31; 3 p.m. March 25 and April 1

Where: ARTworks, 2127 Boundary St., Beaufort

Description: In this satire of Catholic school life in the 1960s, four actresses play the nuns and the first through eighth grade girls at St. George’s School in Yonkers. An amusing portrait of girls maturing to the threshold of adolescence delightfully emerges, as they experience bonds of friendship, reprimands from authority figures, pressures from home, as well as the Beatles, the Addams Family, the Supremes and the election of a Catholic president. Between scenes of the classrooms, monologues give free rein to the students’ decidedly secular ambitions.
